In addition, you can create returns for Receipts and Invoices. The POS system replaces the cash register in a retail store.  \nThe POS system can track sales by various payment methods like cash, checks, credit cards, coupons, and gift certificates.  \nThe POS system requires that you have the Accounts Receivable and the Inventory modules. For example, POS will update inventory sold figures in Inventory, or the salesperson’s commission in Accounts Receivable. In addition, if you want to create Sales Orders, you will need the Order Entry (O/E) module. Other modules are optional.  \nThe POS system replaces your manual cash drawer with a personal computer. In addition, you can attach accessories like the POS Cash Drawer, Star 40 Column Receipt Printer, and the Bar Code Scanner.  \nThe following flowchart shows the process flow for the POS system. The first step involves creating and printing a Receipt or an Invoice. If you have a product return, you can also create a Return Receipt ora Return Invoice.  \nYou may print the Receipts or Invoices. Make sure you back up your data before posting the Invoices. During the posting process, the Customer file, Inventory, A/R Checkbook Deposit, Accounts Receivable, and General Ledger are automatically updated.  \nThe POS System supports the following hardware devices:  \n Important Note: This POS system is designed to work with the hardware supplied directly from us. For the purpose of compatibility and technical support, we do not support hardware supplied by other manufacturers/distributors.  \nPOS Bar Code Scanner: This scanner is a pen-like device used to scan the bar codes from the products you sell. The POS Bar Code Scanner connects between the keyboard and the PC.  \nWhen any screen asks you for the Inventory Item ID, all you need todo is to scan the bar code from the product you are selling. The scanner will read the bar code and display the Item ID on the screen in the current field.  \nThe Catalog Number for purchasing the POS Bar Code Scanner is WDPRW-301-04.  \nPOS Cash Drawer: The cash drawer connects to a serial port (usually to COM2 since the mouse uses the COM1 port) . If you are  \nusing a Star 40 Column Receipt Printer, the cash drawer connects to the printer, which in turn connects to the serial port.  \nIf you will be using the POS Cash Drawer with the Star 40 Column Printer, the Catalog Number for ordering the cash drawer is CASDP- 301-04. If you will be using the POS Cash Drawer without the Star 40 Column Printer, the Catalog Number for ordering this product is CASD-301-04.  \n\n|  Important Note: This hardware device is only supported under Windows 95/Windows NT/ or higher versions. |\n| --- |\n| POS Star 40 Column Printer: The cash drawer is connected to a serial port (usually to COM2 since the mouse uses the COM1 port) . Even though the POS system allows you to print receipts on a regular 80-column dot-matrix printer, you can get a professional look to your receipts by using the Star (DP-8340 or Sp-200) 40-Column Receipt Printer. |\n|  Important Note: This hardware device is only supported under Windows 95/Windows NT or higher version. |\n\nFor paper rolls for the 40-column printer, contact Star Receipt Printer Supplies at:  \n(800) 227-8274  \nSetup   \nSetup contains the following options. :  \n∙ Customer Maintenance  \n∙ Salesperson Maintenance  \n∙ Sales Tax Maintenance  \n∙ Media Code Maintenance  \n∙ Payment Method Maintenance  \n∙ Ship Via Maintenance  \n∙ Terms Code Maintenance  \n∙ Credit Status Maintenance  \n∙ Customize Invoice and Packing Slips  \n∙ Change Customer ID  \n∙ Change Salesperson ID  \nFor more information on these options, please refer for the Order Entry section of your manual.  \nSetup also contains the following options:  \nView/Reset Drawers: Allows you to Add, Delete, and Reset cash drawers.
